About us

Urban Sketchers is a network of artists throughout the world who draw the cities and towns where they live and travel. Our group meets to sketch together in and around North Central Florida. We consider our drawing area to extend to Gainesville on the north to Orlando on our south. Visit the world-wide Urban Sketchers' main blog at Urban Sketchers for more information.

And...let us hear from you! Leave a comment on our blog or on our FLICKR page (easier!) at: https://www.flickr.com/groups/2154202@N25/

The International Urban Sketchers Manifesto

1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation.

2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel.

3. Our drawings are a record of time and place.

4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness.

5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles.

6. We support each other and draw together.

7. We share our drawings online.

8. We show the world, one drawing at a time.The Urban Sketchers logo was created by Italian graphic designer Franco Lancio.
